1st I wanted to note that English is my 2nd language! :)
Hey guys I wanted to introduce myself since I***8217;ve been asking so many questions the past 2-3 weeks about the 6 series.
I***8217;ve been around modified cars my whole life. I***8217;ve owned and a modified W208 CLK, E46 M3, and currently MKIV Supra and a 745 BMW. Ill give you guys a brief summary of the cars and mods.
W208 CLK
H&R Springs with Blisteins yellows: Awesome suspension! Rides a lot better then stock!
19 inch ADR Sterling***8217;s: No Fender modifications, no spacers!
Stock Body

E46 M3
H&R Cup Kit: The kit was harsh, felt everything on the road and was back breaking.
19 inch SSR GT3: No Fender mods and no spacers.
ACS CF front lip

MKIV Supra
Megan Coilovers: Good ride on stock wheels a bit rough on 19***8217;s great handling!
CCW SP500 19x11.5 in the rear: Fender rolled no spacers

E65 745
KW Variant 3: Adjustable coilovers was a bit rough in the beginning but settled in very nicely. Car handles great with a great soft smooth ride
21 inch OEM: No Fender mods no Spacers
http://images21.fotki.com/v758/photos/6/694403/2549689/Picture002-vi.jpg
22 inch GFG Trento: No Fender mods no Spacers
http://images23.fotki.com/v766/photos/6/694403/2549689/Picture025-vi.jpg
All these cars are different in every way. Some had the worse suspension ever some had some really awesome suspension. I want to make sure I get the right suspension for the e63 645.
Well I just purchased a 2005 645 WHITE!!!!!!! With black interior 6 speed!!!!!!!!! Can you guys see how excited I am!? 100k warranty on maintenance also.
Well the car will be here in 10-14 days and I***8217;m already ready to mod it! Ive been doing some research and was hoping you guys can help me out, maybe correct me if I***8217;m wrong on some aftermarket parts
Black kidney grill: most people have painted there***8217;s or ordered from http://www.bimmian.com/63/
Suspension:
KW Coilovers: $2200-$2600 fully adjustable ride is a bit harsh? Bumpy?
H&R Springs-
-a little stiffer than factory
-handling is much responsive
-drop is more aggressive than the eibach's. 1.4' front, 1.3***8217; rear
Eibach Spring-
-Ride is about the same as factory
-Drop is about 1" all the way around.
Struts?? Blistiens / Stock OEM? What are you guys using?
Wheels:
19-20 inch M6 OEM or replica
Many people run these and it looks great!
21 inch aftermarket rims need spacers?
19x8.5 and 19x10 in the rear sound right?
I***8217;m thinking about ordering the IFORGED Classic black with a chrome lip
Are spacers needed to space them out from the suspension? Or are they installed just for more of an aggressive look?
22s are just too big for me; I think ill stick with 21s or 20s
Tires! What size tires are you guys running with you 20-21-22s?
M6 OEM parts:
Front bumper: fits perfectly with little mods removing a few vents and hiding the fog lights
Side skirts: direct Replacement
Rear bumper: Need the Metal brace for the reverse lights or modify the non M6 for the reverse lights
Sorry for the long post! Please let me know what you guys think? Please give me some input
